Mark Schnitzer is an Associate Professor
with a joint appointment in the Departments of Biological Sciences
and of Applied Physics and has been named an Investigator
of the Howard Hughes Medical Institute. He is a faculty member
of the Neuroscience, Biophysics, and Molecular Imaging Programs
in the Stanford School of Medicine, as well as of the Stanford
Neuroscience Institute. Dr. Schnitzer has longstanding interests
in neural circuit dynamics and optical imaging, and his laboratory
has three major research efforts:

In vivo fluorescence imaging and
behavioral studies of cerebellar-dependent motor control and
motor learning.

Development and application of fiber-optic fluorescence
microendoscopy imaging techniques for studies of learning and
memory in behaving mice and for clinical uses in humans.

Development of high-throughput,
massively parallel imaging techniques for studying brain function
in large numbers of Drosophila concurrently.
